Yep . . . it was an attachment.

@FL
Did you get the albums?

Genuflect:
^^^I agree. Including Nas, Eminem, Rakim, Talib, Lupe infact the whole Hip-Hop industry. LWKMD!!!

Hhehehehe . . . bruv it's a Sunday, you can't make me die of laughter today

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=408565.msg5641572#msg5641572 date=1267924383]J.Cole is a beast i really hope he doesn't flop he just needs to chill and make that buzz even bigger e no easy to sell Platinum nowadays.[/quote]Truth be told . . . I don't know if Jay-Z can help him.
Someone of that talent without the charisma is not going to shift albums.
Half the work rests with him.

FL Gators:
Ok, you can send it.

But can you plz unquote my email address, thanks

& Wale, even tho born here, tried to stick to his root too nau.

I like his MY SWEETIE song

Difference is, Wale is not bringing anyting entirely different.
He's an American artiste that mentions Naija once in a while . . . while he's sticking to his roots, K'naan is stealing from his roots.

I walk with three kids that can't wait to meet God
lately, that's Bucktooth, Mohamed and Crybaby,
what they do everyday just to eat lord have mercy,
strapped with an AK and they blood thirsty,

if I rhyme about home and got descriptive,
I'd make Fifty Cent look like Limp Biskit,

I don't really know Wale but he seems to be this lyrically-inclined whizkid . . . putting a bit more of Africa in his verses will really help him.
Even if it takes just reading about Nigeria from local newspapers.
People like M.I.A, Akon and Damian Marley have made this work. . . I guess I didn't just want another Chamillionaire.

Maybe I'm just being sentimental and hypocritical though . . . M.I's one of my favourite Nigerian rappers and he's a mix of Kanye, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.

@MzDarkSkin

What can I say . . . even all your supporters will be ashamed of that last post.
After seeing the clear portrayal of ignorance in that last post, arguing with you will be an insult to my person.
You know what your problem is . . . FL put it clearly . . .'thinking everybody is against your islands'.

The unnecessary antagonistic character towards any perceived threat is a bad stereotype that even Bob Marley will be ashamed of because people like you exist.
You are the typical angry Jamaican woman.

@FL
First thing that came to my mind was . . .'kila gbe, kile ju??'

FL Gators:
Dude is not Nigerian, I'm sure of it.

Maynne . . . that guy's from Ogun State.
His real name of Fashola Majekodunmi or sumn . .

Check out the Jamaican colours on his album sef

FL Gators:
This is my #1 reason for not listening to Nigerian artist.

Mehn, be creative. I'm tired of seeing look alike Jamaicans on a Nigerian music video.

Hate seeing that Jamaican influence, gawwwd.

Hehehe . . . Majek Fashek looks more Jamaican than Bob Marley himself

FL Gators:
eldee, send me the mixtapes.
And how exactly do you know that that J. Cole's verse was for Wale?

They were on Wale's song Beautiful Bliss.

FL Gators:
So trueee lol, I loff K'naan 's part mehn. The voice, the lyrics, the. . . . loff it.

It's a shame that for my school's African showcase, they're "begging" K'naan to come play, but no Wale

K'naan stuck to his roots so he has sumn different from what everyone has to offer.
If you want I could send you his albms too.

@Chiogo
Ionno . . . you might be on to sumn.
But he was generally weak

Wale: I don't wear Timbs, I wear Nike shoes!!!

Na wa ooh!!!

chiogo:
But the K'naan guy killed him.  Who woulda thought!!  

K'naan is really good . . . I think he probably killed Nas on the Distant Relatives album.

The first time Cohen gets an assist . . . he gets a red card to remove the three points he gave me.
Is he cursed or sumn??

chic2pimp:
Chei see lyrics

With that hair, I think say na Timaya

Rhymstein:
@eldee
Have u heard Umrika ft k'naan too,evn almost everyone on d back to d feature dey flog even jean grae

I just listened to Beautiful Bliss . . . see Babanla flogging

FL Gators:
Awe, hush dia jor. Every rapper has their time to mess up.  Plz tell me, apart from s//ex, father mother drama, what else has J Cole written about?

Have you heard lyrics from Jay-Z in "Umbrella" and Lil Wayne's "I'm Gettng more cheese than macaroni
And I'm in more beef than beefaroni" nko?

And the lines you just stated made a lot of sense of you understand the metaphor behind it. Eldee, se o fe ki n break e down fun e ni?

Lil wayne drops many wack lines . . . but he doesn't get trash on his own shit every time.

J Cole?? You need to listen to both mixtapes to understand, gimme your mail, I'll send em to you.
He's got peach songs about High School, North Carolina, helping a girl cheat, gang wars, getting rich, being broke, being inspired . . . no topic under hiphop wasn't in his album.

He even trashed Wale on Beautiful Bliss . . . na wa ooh
J. Cole dropped what's prolly his best rap verse of the year on Wale's track.

And tell them niggas at the top we want yo spot we are for real
And yet we heard you got it locked but like them socks we on your heels
So you best be on your toes nigga
‘Specially on your flows nigga

I’m like the prison yard I yearn
For that living large, but Mama I ain’t done yet
Sit back and watch your son rise [sunrise]
Kick back and know that yo son set [sunset]

J.Cole is the best of the new school . . . so I'll excuse Wale on this one.
But he really needs to step up in collabos.

cap28:
Fela portrayed these women as queens, their costumes were not sexually provocative and they were not put on show as cheap sexual gimmicks, they played their own part as back up singers and dancers without bringing in a cheap pornographic element.

@FL

Why didn't you tell me K'naan trashed Wale on  TV in The  Radio??
Chei . . . that was some hardcore Somalian flogging right there.

Wale: I'm drinking champagne till I'm jumping from the window ?

K'naan: Needless to say I turned rap beef into piglets
I'm so sick, my ten bars cough.

If Wale's going to mess up like this against African opposition, we should send M.I to go on our behalf abeg

Pharoh:
ha well now i know wat u think, this is why Rap music gat it own problem , even those who tryna call themselves gangsta aren't even one , everytime u listen to those who have been into gang they always try to let the world know that gang rap is killing the mentality of the folks listening to it that why snoop said he can NEVER ALLOW HIS SON TO GO INTO RAP MUSIC cos he knows the consequences, and mind u Snoop is an Ex Gang member(Crips) so he knows what he is talking about , same goes with the intimacy rap , for God sake how can someone come out and rap saying "HOW I WISH I CAN bleep EVERY GIRL IN THE WORLD" that is the most dumb thing have ever heard , well if they want to rap then let there lyrics be more educative , and let forget about he intimacy , dizzing and gang rap that we hear everyday , it just too boring every now and then , Even the Rapper who gat lot of enemy 2pac out of 12 track u can only hear 2 track where he dizzies who so ever and the remaining ones are either for the fight of the black race or about himself and stuff happening around the immediate environment,
Peace

One sentence . . . Rap is unlimited self-expression.

Pharoh:
]Am sick and tired of people calling Lil wanye the best rapper ever ,  i tried listening to his music lyrics and i cant even bring out one good sentence of inspiring word ,  he is just living in a  world of much media hype ,  i think even  Nigeria artist gat good message and lyrics than him  and even most of the so called superstars in america for now , 
Listen to snoop most of his lyrics at least 70% are about gang related raps
Lil wanye - 80% of his lyrics are pu**y and dizzing
50 cent - 70% of his lyrics crime and dizzing people ( fellow artist)
D Game- Same as 50 cent
Gucci man - same as 50 cent and snoop dog dizzing fellow artist and gang related raps
,  and the list goes on,

  I think for now rap music in the USA is dead ,  need to be rehab

If you ban dissing . . . s[i]e[/i]x talk and gangsta rap . . . what do you want them to rap about?? Comets and stars like Lupe Fiasco??

MzDarkSkin:
@ Eldee dont test me, you challenged me so heres the proof:

TOP 100s:
#27 Do You remember- Jay Sean & SEAN PAUL

Top 200 Albums:
#115 Legend: Best of Bob Marley

I got too lazy  to type them all, plus I have work to do so you look. Then afterwards, you post the Nigerians who are on the Billboards…If you can.
Reggae Albums Top Selling list:
http://www.billboard.com/charts?tag=nav#/charts/reggae-albums

Hottest of the decade:
http://www.billboard.com/charts?tag=nav#/charts-decade-end

Jay Sean?? Isn't he like Indian or sumn?? Sean Paul?? B[i]i[/i]tch please that nigga is as American as the word goes.
I rest my case . . . The best selling Jamaican albums were composed in the 1980s.
When I said Jamaican music had lost relevance you said I was lying . . . now you post proof for my post.

Right now it's all about the US, Europe and Latin America . . . Caribbean music is as irrelevant as African music is to the Western world.

DBR:
It' not bout sayin one beat is diff. from another arbitrarily eldee~~
u just prancin like a tired boxer witout an idea of how to deliver a blow to get/make a point.
We aint talkin but Era influenced beat but Genre influenced beat. 2 diff. things. Sure a genre eveolves.
Exept u sayin sounds/beats are all the same, no distinction, no hiphop beat, no bata or hiighlife or juju, or pop or clasical beats
but u kno that wld be so dumb.
And no! old aint always bera. at least not e'rtime.

Exactly . . . I knew this misconception had to be coming from somewhere.
Hiphop has always been influenced by pop. . . the only difference is the change in what's popular music at the time.
Popular music in the 90s was more R'n'B, 80s breakbeat/funk . . . popular music now is electronic.

So genre influences are more about the time than anything else.
So you see hiphop beats just evolved . . . you can't come here and tell me M.I's beats are not hiphop because they've got so many electronic/techno sounds.

DBR:
What arguement? By Sayin u'v heard Pavarotti on many "pop" beats says it all, and puttin d pop in quote wont save u
Cos it means u heard him on a DIFFERENT kinda beat from wat u usually or normally hear him on.

My argument . . . Pavarotti knows good music.
He won't discriminate against modern music because it's popular.

i think u shud focus on the phrase ONE OF THE BEST.
Go to any review, especially Top 20 Rappers of all Times, and see how each rapper that made the list is given credit to their flow and delivery.
Plus, if u dont know that breath control is vital to delievery then we shunt be havin this convo.
U confessed that 123 wa too fast for u, now imagine if he kept gaspin or runnin outta breath.
Plus, this aint bout me or u or mi or m9. wat it is is wat it is.And dont look at me funny i didnt influence it either.
But, ever wondered at the choice of beats when Ye' was gon do the track Classic?
I rest ma case!

I'm not saying breath control is not important. . . I'm saying being able to control your breath is the easiest part in hiphop delivery.
Because Modenine can do it on Badman don't mean shit.
If we use the evidence in front of us . . . M.I is better at it than Mode. . . why?? 123 Hiphop.
Name one aspect of delivery where M9 trumps M.I and I'll quit.
It's not about old and new, check out Nas on 'As We Enter' and you'll see why he's on the flipping top 20 list.

M.I's delivery is what Arsenal were in 2005 . . . INVINCIBLE!!!
Classic easily means old. . . wondered why the rappers on the song where Rakim, Nas and KRS-One??

You know I'm making sense . . . but you'll keep disagreeing because you're the only Modenine fan saying anything remotely sensible on this thread.
All the others are just typing to show off their signatures (Start-Stop, We do it for Love, etc) . . . they might as well leave their posts empty.

Yo're so predictable . . . I knew you were gonna take the sarcastic route to escape from this.
So now you've left your 'trying hard to rhyme' route to 'M.I might be gay'.

You're a confused fellow that;s just grabbing straws.
I guess you'll need me to explain now that it wasn't literally??
Bt nah . . . I'll just leave you to wallow in that state, there's nothing more fun to watch than sumone trying desperately to act immature.

javalove:
Start

This is already in contention for the most silly, i-refuse-to-be-truthful post of the year!!!!

what we diss your babe (MI ) for on threads is the same thing he is forcing himself to do. . .spitting rubbish all in the name of multies. . .OF COURSE MI IS NOT GAY. . .and if he is, wahala ti e ni yen. . He is trying too hard to rhyme and he ends up spitting gibberish. .

pls eldee dont try to yarn dust on this one cos i wud get mad at ya. . . Let him yarn proper and stop all thos pre-nursery realise, sodomise, sonic, supersonic, bionic kinda of rhymes. . .its an insult to my intelligence. . .please . .

End

I don't know when you started listening to rap but if you keep hating on multies . . . you'll always remain on the same level.
What part exactly is gibberish??The part where he acknowledged the fact that his fans are ready to fight for him??
Or is it the part where he said he'll Group Intimacy this person??

M.I's lines are an insult to your intelligence?? It's funny how hiphop affects how smart you think you are.

@Tavarez
I didn't expected this from you . . . you're actually quite immature.
Are you trying to say you didn't imply that M.I said sumn wack??
Internet tirades?? You were here bugging me for ignoring your baseless comment and now you're telling me 'I'm trying to sound wise'
Oh snap . . .Eldee quoted Notorious B.I.G, that's 'trying to sound wise'?

I'm sorry, bt the more I argue with you, the more I lose respect for you.

tavarez:
on the 9ice feat M.I Safarawe he said and i quote " if you trying to take my pride/me and my guys go organize/and my Fans will Mobilize/WE will take you to the back and SODOMIZE ,well the last time i checked Sodomy didnt have any other meaning, welll please can M.I heads like eldee help me decipher this one?cuz i dont know ohh

@Sauron
Look at this statement . . . it summarises all the problems I've been facing in this section.

he truth is that M.I may be the best rapper in the world but a million Multis and silly Rhyme pattern can never make ME ever to say that i prefer M.I.

tavarez:
eldee still no word on the Sodomy Line, I dey Wait,


WE DO IT FOR THE LOVE

#nowplaying Str8buttah -Fire

You sound like a 10 year old in a s[i]e[/i]x education class.
We all know rappers are allowed to use words outside their everyday meaning.
Did you start listening to rap yesterday??

Haven't you heard people say Nani r[i]a[/i]ped Clichy at the Emirates??
Haven't you heard Canibus say 'y'all fake rappers should suck my dick'??
Or haven't you head of people talking bout gangbanging a clique??

Listen to Machine Gun Funk . . . didn't you hear him say ' if you f[i]u[/i]ck with Big-and-Heavy I get up in that as[i]s[/i] like a wedgie'.
So B.I .G is gay too??

Sometimes I don't get you guys. . . you 'decipher' lines like 'lemon and torch' but you can't apply basic logic.

Krayola:
Reggae has been, and still is, more popular internationally than Fuji, Juju, Afrobeat, or any other genre that has come out of Nigeria. That is just the fact. That we are Nigerian does not mean we should lose all objectivity and just argue out of pride. It is, IMO, petty. I kinda agree with Mzdarkskin.

And some of our Fuji, Juju, and Afrobeat artists IMO, have been more successful internationally that the artists we have today.

Let's stop being overly sentimental here . . . reggae is nowhere near as popular as it used to be in the days of Bob Marley.
Right now, Americans rule the scene . . . I don't get how you can come here to say Jamaicans are on top.

The only Raggae been listened to today outside Jamaica is from the late 80s . . . I don't know how you guys measure this.
It's even obvious in her last post . . . I said, name any Jamaican on the Billboard charts, she couldn't mention one.
In songs that are delivered in English, conquering America is usually the yardstick.

DBR:
eldeeAnd M9 lyrics and voice no seperate am? dude!! SauceKid's voice and flow didnt seperate him too?
U see  u just established what im sayin', it's all bout choice. I luv M.i's voice, and i luv M9's too.Dude, there are some sound that pple dont consider hiphop sounds or beatz, ok.

Aiite, I'll rephrase it, the quality of M.I's voice separates him from other rappers in Nigeria.
Who makes the rules?? You sit down sumwhere in your office and say this beat is hiphop and that is not hiphop . . . By your logic, Grandmaster Flash isn't hiphop . . . afterall it was way different from beats of the 90s.
There are still some people that say that the only listen to rap music from the golden age/80s.

DBR:
Yea there's a musical aspect of hiphop~~but will that be sayin the boombap hiphop beats aint musical?
Fusion is what kinda adulterated wht is regarded as a hiphop beat.
Just like there's a Jazz sound/beat or classical. 
Can u imagine Kanye or Jay elecronica lacin their kinda beat for Andrea Bocelli or Luciano Pavarotti?
Yea they will do their stuff on it, and even by it gain a wider audience, but Pav wont be silly enuff to confuse
wat a classical-classical sound is, and refer to a more pop or hiphop sound as being musical and sure Bocelli wont be that blind .

'Adulerated'?? Fusion has been there since the early 90s.
You guys sound like the Conservatives . . .'old is always better'

I've heard Pavarotti on many 'pop' beats. So that argument doesn't hold water.
Good music is most times accepted by people that have an ear for music . . . you guys need to step out of hiphop for sometime.
Hiphop is a bubble . . .

DBR:
By what criteria? Thats your problem~~your choice of word.
U shudda said he rides DIFFERENTLY, not better.
Does M9 go off beat? ~Pause unneccesarily? ~Run outta breath?
Hammerin' and believin a fictional-fact dont make it a realistic truth.

By your own logic, every rapper has perfect delivery.
If you need someone to run out of breath to know he's not as good as M.I on Anoti/123 Hiphop.

How then is Eminem's delivery critically adjudged one of the best in hiphop if the others are just different??
It's so easy how you guys quickly cower under the subjectivity canopy when factual things come up but discard it when you're talking about things like 'that's not hiphop enough'.
I call that hypocrisy . . . do you have subjective view to that too??

And u think same cant be done for all others? brathaaa pleazzeeeeeeeeeee!!

Now you missed my point AGAIN!!!
Sumone brought up one M.I line and I said Modenine has more crappy lines than M.I.

MzDarkSkin:
Exactly.

@Eldee, you really can't be serious what so ever, there are WAY too many reggae/dancehall artistes out there who have and continue to set the foundation. Mavado, Sean Paul, Kartel and Sean Kingston are only a SMALL part of our culture. Idk what you are trying to prove.

You say Jamaican music is on top, and I'm asking where and how??
How many people on the Billboard currently are Jamaican??

You're talking about reggae, the only reggae music currently widely listened to is stuff from the 80s/90s.
Jamaican music is not as strong as it used to be . . . it's faceless right now.

That 'we're on top in music' statement is B.S. . . delusion at it's best.

ibkaye:
If all Jamaican songs were censored, most would be instrumentals lol

Hehehe . . . dancing to that music is like sex on the dancefloor

dejiariyo:
Eldee dont get it wrong, Reggae music Or jamaican music is internationally popular and widely accepted. Dont get what your point really is.

Used to be. . . Fela and Sunny Ade were once world leaders too.

MzDarkSkin:
@ Eldee on top = Officially on the map; international recognition. regardless of the personal biasness it's not worth denying Jamaican music is among the most recognized and YES even respected.

On top of what music scene?? What genre exactly??
How?? The only Jamaicans out there are the Vybe Kartels and the Mavados.

Sean Paul is as Jamaican as Wale is Nigerian.
Who else?? Sean Kingston?? These guys are American jare.

duduspace:
maybe that didn't come out right, in terms of development I meant, not achievement. As in the basic attributes of the player are already strongly defined at this period and the player is already close to a ceiling in terms of technical improvement (at 21, in fact long before that we all knew CR7 and Messi could easily beat defenders, we knew Rooney was strong and a workaholic with good technical ability, we knew Cesc was already at pass master at 18).

Cesc, Rooney, Messi?? come on . . . at age 16, they were already way ahead of Walcott.
These are exceptional players . . .they amazed our generation, everyone knows Walcott is not going to be exceptional.
You can't say technical improvement stops around 21 . . . I dare say technical improvement only begins then for most players at that age.

For wingers and forwards generally, 21 is the time most of them depend on their speed for everything . . . when they start to lose this, they begin to improve in the technical aspects of the game.
We cannot tell how good a forward is till he's 25.

I must confess that line was maddd dope!!!    Its my favourite line ever
[quote][/quote]Wanna know what's my favourite line ever??

I'm a plane I'm a rocket I'm an eagle
And it's plain how I rock the desert eagle

No announcement, no Canibus-like bullshit name-dropping, that's how to do metaphorical wordplay . . . not 'I'm not a star, I'm a planet bigger than Jupiter'

So have you picked a dress for the date with Modenine yet?? And for the venue, I recommend a trip to Silverbird Cinemas and then Nandos.
It'll be sooooo romantic
